# Usual Where — use

See every Claude Code and Codex session, what it is waiting on, and resume it.

Source: https://github.com/pauljump/usual
Catalog: https://tryusual.com/catalog.json
Human page: https://tryusual.com/menu/where/

Use an inspected Usual source checkout or extracted source bundle: https://tryusual.com/usual.zip. Run commands from its root. Python 3.11+ for the local runtime.

This website cannot access local files or connect to your agent. These are instructions for the current coding agent. Select explicit source/scope paths with the user. Current instructions control authority; history is not permission. No extra model service or background monitor is required.

## Requirements

Python 3.9+; standard library only

## Install

python3 scripts/usual.py where install --client claude
Or: read https://tryusual.com/where/install and install it

## Configuration

No additional settings. Select the scope explicitly when a command requires it.

## Use

python3 scripts/usual.py where
python3 scripts/usual.py where board
python3 scripts/usual.py where brief SESSION_ID
python3 scripts/usual.py where keep

## Remove

rm -rf ~/.claude/skills/where ~/.codex/skills/where ~/.usual/where

## Storage

Reads transcripts without changing them. A derived cache stays under ~/.usual/where. `where keep --apply` changes only cleanupPeriodDays in ~/.claude/settings.json, after a backup.

## Network

None. The board binds to 127.0.0.1 with a one-time token.

## Verification

status: local fixture validation
tested: Synthetic Claude Code and Codex transcripts in tests/test_where.py; real history on macOS by the maintainer.
pending: Linux terminals for click-to-resume; Windows is unsupported.

Installation and behavior verification are separate. Report exactly what was inspected, changed, and tested. Do not claim live agent or device behavior from a deterministic test. Preserve unrelated user changes. Evidence read by a hosted coding agent uses that provider’s normal processing and usage. The local runtime has no telemetry.
